I am only able to purchase extracted salvia, and, as my region only has one store that carries salvia and I would rather not buy online, it's relatively expensive. 1g of 20x is about $27 (which is reasonable seeing as the store lowered the price from a whopping $40.) I smoke it often, it always works with absolutely no problem. I'd like to try the quid method though. The extract comes as tiny, chopped-up bits of leaves, which seems hard to chew. Is it possible to do the quid method with this? I've heard holding vodka in the mouth could help, but I'm a bitch and can't stand the taste.
Well, with extract, it takes a lot more and the effects will come off as rather weak. When I did this method, I had to use almost a mouthful of 15x and hold it in my mouth for 30 minutes to get an effect.
its hit and miss, but extracts using the quid method work. i have done it this way: mix with a little bit of crushed mint if you have it, and maybe a tiny bit of green tea. i put it in an empty teabag, and soaked it into a tiny bit of cold water for a few minutes to let it soak up water, i then put it in my mouth in a ball in the tea bag and put it under my tongue and slightly chewed on it, and had a small container of honey, to put a drop of honey on my tongue every once in a while so it was more like having green tea with mint and honey in my mouth, after around 30 minutes i had mild visual distortions, but had moderate emotional, and body effects. oddly though, walking was effortless, it was like i had two of me, one having internal dialogue and taking in the scenery and looking at the trees watching them slightly bend and warp and feeling connected and almost like i was in a seperate but almost identical reality and universe, yet there was an outer me, that was acting like a sitter, guiding me, making sure i was okay, and i went for a walk through some trails and down the road, walked for a couple miles and turned around and walked home, completely fine, felt like i was just levitating and being pushed gently along instead of walking. not really all that visual of a trip or anything, but really spiritual and emotional.
Thanks, I might try that. How much salvia is needed for the quid method in relation to how much is used when smoked?
if using just the 20x extract, it really depends on quality, and its hard to say accurately how much you need. what i would try is brushing the inside of your mouth really well with a toothbrush, as well as the normal brushing of the teeth and tongue, then rinse with a good mouthwash for 30 seconds (this will make absorption more effective) try soaking maybe a quarter of a gram in a bit of cold water for a few minutes, then if you happen to have a tea bag that is very thin you can spare, use a bit of that to roll the salvia in, put it into your mouth sort of under the tongue and suck and chew lightly on it, try to find the right amount of light chewing to where you dont have it ripping to pieces in your mouth but it isnt just sitting there, leave it in for at least 20 to 30 minutes, i would leave it longer if i were you but depending on quality the taste can be unbarable i would leave it for 30, thats when you will start to have some slight effects most likely, then its up to you whether you want to leave it longer, if you happen to have effects hitting you and you think its working really well and dont want to accidentally choke then spit it out, if its only really light effects, keep it in longer its not guaranteed to work, so it may or may not, but its worth a try, the quid method is better in general in my opinion, the effects come on slower, are milder (i HAVE had intense visuals and visions however, just sort of without the harsh body gravity), and they last a little longer, so its better for insight and sort of an enlightenment sort of thing. smoking is like a quick slap in the face from the universe, while the quid is like stopping by and having a a brief period of small talk is kind of how i look at it. hope this helps.
Thanks, that helps a lot! I don't know if I'll get around to trying it out anytime soon as I don't want to potentially loose 1/4th of a gram, but if I do I'll tell you how it went
you could possibly use less than that, i just looked at how much a 1/4 of a gram is, and you may be able to do it with more like an eighth of a gram depending on quality
id I am trying this method - using about 1/10th of a gram of 10X rolled up in a bit of teabag paper and parked under my tongue. After 20 mins, I am feeling mild effects - but they are there. (I don't mind the taste at all.) After 30 mins, I went foa r little walk. It was a very pleasant floaty feeling and all the outdoor colours were brighter. After 40 mins - I like this feeling!
tried that yesterday witha bit mroe than a 1/10 of 10x and got pretty much nothing, might have to try more next time
